comment How can I connect mail(1) to my Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail account?
mail(x) doesn't speak any network protocols (IMAP, POP, SMTP). You would need to configure your local MTA (that provides /usr/lib/sendmail) to login to your remote account and use it as a smarthost. For receiving, you would need something external such as fetchmail. Use a better MUA.

Do you have the bash-completion package installed? Are you sourcing /etc/bash_completion?

(( foo++ )) works in bash 3, and I don't know what array bugs you are talking about. It doesn't support associative arrays. What OS do your scripts target?

Bash 3.0 shouldn't be difficult to target at all. It would be the same as targeting RHEL 5, which is still a very relevant OS. What shiny bash 4 features are you using?

Because usually you would compile inside your stage3 chroot and not the livecd?

What is preventing the user from pooling the drive out, changing the root password to access root and the keyfile? If they have physical access, they can always find a way.

ss is a linux specific utility. netstat is more widely available (but the options differ depending on OS).
